Years ago when i drive up to lake eppalock with friends, we would drive through big swarms of grasshoppers and when we reach our destination on the banks we would pluck these off the front of our car and use as bait. Landed over 50 redfins most are between 17cm-27cm with 3 that went 35cm. We also had garden worms which acounted for many big carps and more redfins but strangely no carp was caught on grasshoppers. Lure fishos next to us getting donuts while we were pulling them up like a factory.
